Los Angeles Trolley Dodgers is right up there with the Utah Jazz! Or the LA Lakers for that matter. LA was ground zero for the
death of streetcars and obviously the water situation makes Lakers dumb as dumb can be.
Anyway, what ended up the Ft. Myers Miracle started in Miami, so that would be something different. I've used the Tropics from Will Ferrell's terrible movie Semi_Pro for various FL teams too.
Re Arlington, I love "Old Dominion" as a team name for Virginia teams, but it's also a college name so maybe that's a turnoff. I had no idea it was originally lumped into DC.
